I agree, and that is indeed how I use it. But Simon’s point is that the
design of dbus-python, in particular, requires you to go through
introspection rigmarole even when you already know what the interface
definition is.

Which reminds me, I should add another to my DBussy examples, showing
how you can bypass introspection and do entirely local construction of a
proxy interface.
